Texas A&M has struggled the second half of the season. Both these teams are mediocre. Both teams have a chance to win this game. I think UofL will win unfortunately.
Louisville v. Texas A&M in Music City Bowl
- Thread starter rjr
- Start date
Pretty much nailed it....but really this is a Toss Up...should be a entertaining game.
Clemson maybe number one in the rankings but when you look at the advance metrics they actually fall to 2nd or 3rd while playing an easier schedule. Out of the four teams, they have the 3rd highest chance of winning the playoffs behind Alabama and Oklahoma. The entire ACC is clearly a step below Clemson. And the Atlantic division is considered the better division (mainly because it has Clemson and FSU) but if you look the coastal has more solid teams overall (UNC, Pitt, Miami, and Duke). Where as after Clemson, FSU, and Louisville (solid, in same group as Miami and Duke and possibly Pitt) the Atlantic division is a hot mess. NC State is okay but highly overrated. Syracuse, Wake and Boston College are horrible teams. In the Coastal the only horrible team is Georgia Tech and Virginia is a bad team. But all other teams in the Coastal finished with a .500 record or better. The Atlantic division has a combined ACC record of 25-31 and the Coastal division has a combined ACC record of 31-25. So while the Atlantic has the best two teams, the Coastal has the best group of teams.
Very good assessment and detailed!! My point and you probably understand this was Louisville moved from the BIG EAST to a tougher league and heading into player transition...that imo explains why Petrino has a worse 2 year record as compared to Strong-(FTR I am NOT a Petrino/Grantham Fan as the Louisville Board will tell you).
Again looking forward to Bowl Season and matchups like Michigan-Florida and the game I want to see that many might overlook is Houston-Florida State.
There are some entertaining looking games on the bowl schedule. Michigan will beat Florida. Florida has no offense. Houston vs Florida State should be fun. Really looking forward to Clemson vs Oklahoma.
One interesting thing. If the officials hadn't blown the onside kick call in the UNC vs Clemson game, there might not be an ACC team in the final four. If UNC had won, they wouldn't be in the finally four and Clemson likely would have dropped out.
If BP stays at Otis he will win, now with Fla St and Clemson in their division do I think they have a shot at the conference championship. ..no unless fsu and Clemson implode...do I think a MS coached team will beat him ..
No

....Little Brothel doesnt rebuild any more.....they "reload"......so I heard when Petrino was brought back.....I don't understand how you only won two more games than UK did........
With any offense at all second UK should have beaten Otis...A&M has a coaching staff that LOVE offensive fb...A&M 34..Otis 24
The ACC officials have been HORRID all year...UNC is legit...what killed their shot at the CFP was those two FCS Schools on their schedule
And we UK fans are glad we get to ruin UL fans New Years when we beat you down in basketball again. Don't kick the dog too hard in front of the kids this time, alright?
Only 5 bowl games matter.
The 3 playoff bowls, Hawaii and the Bahamas, All others are just games.
If you cannot be int he big bowls, may as well go somewhere that is a vacation.
That reminds of the Capt'n Jack Sparrow quote about the greatest pirate ever heard of.
Louisville was beaten, but they were there.
And why are you HERE? Don't you have your own board to celebrate a 7-5 season on?
What position do you play? The "WE" you describe is because you chose to follow a team. The reality of which, you add nothing to the team.
Never understood the "We are going to kick your butt", posts. Fans can cheer, but do nothing to affect the outcome.
Regardless, have a Happy New Year when the time comes.
To have fun.
Do you really want to only discuss sports with like minded people? Or are you open to friendly discussions of opposing views?
Your turn: Why are you HERE?

Opposing views are fine and welcome as long as they are within forum rules.
Well...Louisville has already sold out their initial Music City Bowl Allotment and has requested a 2nd Allotment...the Music City Bowl is getting what they want.
Also, the payout now for the Music City Bowl is $2.75 Million per school which is 6th/7th Overall for Non NYD 6 Bowls and more than the Gator/Taxslayer Bowl...that is why that Bowl has moved up in the Bowl Selection for the SEC/ACC/B1G...all bout the $$$$
This is funny coming from a Little Brothel fan......UL fans attempt to jab at UK for only winning one title with all the Final 4' since Cal has been at UK......even though they have only won once since Pitino has been your coach. I think this saying would apply to that as well. I think there is some envy on both sides.
No one is here talking basketball. But I have no envy at all.
Louisville fans take jabs at uk fans because every year the fans come out and say how great this/that team is. You bring in the top recruits every year and all but 1 - with a very dominant player A. Davis - have not resulted in the title.
uk is the in-state rival school. I have gone on record and will every time that beating uk basketball is not the top priority of mine. I want Louisville to beat EVERY single team they play, that includes uk. But if I have to choose between beating uk and every ACC team, I would take wins over the ACC teams. The ACC Conference title means more.
I see uk fans post it a lot, but why is he a scumbag?
I would think every AD would want a coach who could hit the ground running and be about winning - within the confines of the rules.
As for the slight dig, you can do better.
The best joke I have heard so far:
Ford has decided to sponsor Louisville Basketball for the rest of the season. Every player gets an Escort.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
What!!??... someone has to tell you why he is a scumbag?... put he and Benedict together and the embarrassment that they have brought on the university, fans, and their families and you truly need to ask this question, but I know that only winning means anything at the University of Otis... anything that goes along with that is perfectly acceptable
an outright lie uavel has bought the allotment tickets and are offering them at heavily discounted prices.My sources say $20 will get you the best seats less than 20%have been purchased..Busted Again...when will Tommy T learn..
screwing 18 year old while Married with 4 children then lying to Arkansas AD GOT HIM CANNED
Funny. If you worked for state government and violated state laws like he did you would have been prosceuted. He just resigned and ran away.
Uh...Stub Hub is the Secondary Market...they sold the tickets through the University that they were initially given by the MCB...But i guess the MCB reps are lying as well..oh well if you say so...bottom line a lot of Louisville ppl will be making the 2 and a half hour trip to Nashville to enjoy the upcoming exhibition game with SEC West Texas A&M...lol

this uavel troll comes on here spreading bs..The Music City Bowl will be sparsley attended and just like the Pizza Pit phony attendance..I trust Texas A&M will embarrass uavel like Georgia did last year..
another Lil Brother slug drops by to stink up our discussion Who is Burger King....oh that's where Louisville grads get jobs..[roll]No matter how many times he changes his name, Burger Kings posts are so obvious.
The University sold their initial allotment of tickets..they requested more which is fact.. im just laughing that you don't understand that "Stub Hub" is Secondary Market tickets and you do not have to buy tickets through the schools...you can also go through Ticketmaster...not that hard to understand...seriously

Dude, if you go dress warmly. After the Clemson game down there the last time they played I will never go to another night game in Nashville in late December. If you weren't drunk on bourbon there was no dressing for that cold. It was a few of the most miserable hours of my life. Maybe I'm just soft.
